Email from Verisign, or is it??
Any body else had this email from Verisign.
It relates to a domain of mine that is registered at and DNSed by NetSol.
Here it is.

I believe they have been shut down now
This and others like it are hoaxes. Do not respond ever to such as these.

Interesting ...
The emails I received do not redirect to another website, they link to the management pages within Verisign.
hmmmmRegards,

We've heard this report as well.
It appears that Verisign did send out some of these, and that someone else is sending them out as well - using the Verisign email with a new URL.
If you go to a non-Network Solutions page and enter your account information, you will likely be giving away your domain management information.
Be very careful.

weird
weird because the part nsi-direct.com whois says its a NetSol domain, I thought anything before that would be a sub domain controlled by the main domain.
Thanks for the replies guys, I figured it was a hoax, anyone who wants confirmation of info already supplied is pulling a fast one.
Jeeze the domain name circus really does pull out some imaginative scammers, hehe..
cheers
PS I`m running from NetSol and Verisign as fast as I can, they sent me a domain name has expired notice 2 weeks before its due date that was printed just below hehe another scam, moving everything to enom.
Philco.

NetWorkSolutions aka VeriSign is now being sued by GoDaddy and BulkRegister for that eMail practice - and I personaly will not host any more NetWorkSoultions domains till their webmasters transfer to a smarter and cheeper registrar.
